Just film yourself living in your van and toss it on YouTube and get millions of views like everyone else. I’d love to travel around like this but I like pooping in comfort and showering every day - but I would totally pretend to be living in a van for sweet sweet YouTube bucks.

I appreciate filmmakers who go out of their way to share stories like these. McDormand is solid as usual and very likable, but all of the actual nomad actors were very interesting and made the film feel very documentary, for better or worse. That did harm the pacing a bit for me in spots, but overall, I can't say there's anything in the movie I definitively didn't like. It's very gorgeous on the eyes and throughly investing. Chloé Zhou is a director I will be keeping a close eye on.

Yes, McDormand is great. Yes, there are some scenes with absolutely beautiful cinematography. No, the movie is definitely not amazing. The screenplay is entirely lacking. The pacing is terribly slow. You get a feel for the movie very early on and then it just goes nowhere (which is ironic given the subject at hand). Both the themes and the characters are underdeveloped. Its poverty porn. Sure its way more subtle and artistic than something like Hillbilly Elegy, but it's still poverty porn.

Beautifully shot and acted, and I do appreciate the docustyle wandering narrative tone. However - I struggle to remember another movie so afraid to take a political stance while being so inherently political in content. I appreciate the stretches successfully unjudgmental of forgotten white America, but considering the moments full of contempt for systematic oppression (dinner scene with sister, for example), I’d appreciate even more a glimpse at the consequences of loss, not just loss itself.

There is a great tradition of American movies that follow individuals who, for one reason or another, couldn't function in society anymore and had to depart. And what awaits them when they step through the broken suburban fence (as McDormand does in the finale) is the rough American landscape, in every sense of the word. The film has an unobtrusive, elegiac quality that gives it the sense of always having been here, and Zhao finding and shaping it. She is indebted, but it's a perfect work.

I find Nomadland to be an interesting cinematic experiment that works well overall. Frances McDormand gives a great performance that is a masterclass in subtlety and letting a powerful emotion sit just underneath the surface (which, in this case, is an overwhelming sense of grief and despair and longing). The communities of nomads among which she finds herself act as a mirror of sorts to her experiences, and I love how thorough of a treatment they get. This is complex, well-made, and rewarding.

Unlike with The Rider, Zhao has a lead performer capable of handling the material. McDormand is understated but genuine, powerful but vulnerable. Zhao uses wide shots to mimic the solitary nature of being on the road and having the world at your feet, making it both a little lonely and empowering. Beautiful directing. Excellent selection of music as well to reinforce all of this. Doesn't need to force bullshit to gain emotional resonance; it's too heartfelt and honest for that.

Ambitiously tackles an interesting subject but doesn't quite commit to focussing it. Despite the strong lead performance & tone, the more conventionally dramatic character study often feels jarringly in contrast to the documentary-like approach, undermining the vast subtext. Its clinging to familiar structure, pacing & aesthetics left surprisingly little room to actually "feel" the nomadic lifestyle. Has plenty of meat & bones but I'm not sure which is which due to the lack of connective tissue.

The cinematography and the subject matter deserves praise, but there is something amiss. It's an incredibly American movie, and not all for the better. Moments of profundity feel well-trod and slightly condescending, empty like the landscapes it utilizes so frequently. McDormand's character stays at a distance and never lands. It's not raw enough to feel real nor poetic enough to transcend. Its magic can be found in the vulnerable, authentic spaces created by the non-actors.

Nomadland certainly gets points for taking its time and aiming for realism over melodrama. Unfortunately this means it has a fairly slow (but consistent) pace, and is hard to get invested in. McDormand is great as usual, and I enjoyed Strathairn a lot as well. It’s certainly a good movie all around, but of the Best Picture Nominated films this year that I’ve seen so far, this is unfortunately in my bottom three (not that a 6.5/10 is bad).

Despite McDormand's great performance, I found her character and the central story a bit lacking. What really stands out here are the non-actors. The first scenes of McDormand as a fish out of water learning about the nomad lifestyle are as genuine as anything you'll ever see on screen. I almost just wish this had been a documentary, though, because I wanted more of that.

Exquisite slice-of-life cinema: thoughtful camerawork, editing, and music, along with natural performances (the excellent McDormand blends in seamlessly with the non-actors) showcase the subtle beauty of weathered landscapes and faces, of aching reflections on the past and tender moments of small joys in the present, of both the practical and spiritual aspects to settling in and moving on. Either the hints of more pointed character work or those of corporate critique could've been expanded upon.

A quiet, unassuming picture that wanders through scenes with the shy, determined grace of its protagonist. Zhao is a maestro, drawing nuanced and affecting performances from everyone on screen. Its gentle cycle is undeniably lovely, but misses an emotional edge—McDormand's subtle Fern absorbs stories down the road, but never transcends her role as avatar for the audience and for the (unique) experience of the time and "place".

Surprisingly tame given the subject matter. Wants to be a character study, but barely scratches the surface of its characters. It never feels as if they share their pain, they just seem to bounce lines off each other, no connections formed, no deeper understanding reached. All snippets. God-awful soundtrack. Still, has its heart in the right place. Not sure about the Amazon bits though.

A beautiful(!) looking movie. Fell just short of greatness as far too many scenes and situations fly by without much reflection. I still really appreciate Zhao's naturalist method, but The Rider had much more visceral impact on me. Would've liked a slower ride here, but I'll come back to this for the spiritual landscapes any day.

Zhao manages to capture melancholy with Nomadland, in a film that is more feeling than story, yet breezes through its runtime. The cinematography is great; with a cold portrayal of beautiful & desolate landscapes that seems deliberate juxtaposed against the weathered, broken characters. The subtle commentary on an ailing country was well done, though I hope it doesn't spawn a subgenre of post-recession poverty-porn Americana. I'm not sure I enjoyed the film, but I appreciate the experience.

As a good friend once said: "I only take characters serious that have contradictions." I'm not sure if I have ever seen a more heartbreaking, more empathic display of contradicting forces within us. How we, as people (or a country) need to be alone, independent, and also together, safe. Blessed are the ones who are able to suppress these forces that make compromise an infinite impossibility. Fran is all of us. We are always on the run, trying to balance out our demanding, restless nature.

Its shortcomings are addressed in the film: the nomads aren't homeless, just houseless. They're regular folk who find themselves in this lifestyle and most of them end up settling down. So they don't have the same worries as homeless folks w/mental illness & other shortcomings. McDormand is solid. The landscape is foreboding and vast. She is hardly alone. Fav scenes: traveling to see the swallows; running into the cigarette guy again. BTW, why no recession films re: collapse of middle America?

When I was a teenager I took a memorable road trip with my dad and grandpa through Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota, and now my vague memories are mixed with Zhao's own vision of the Badlands, Wall Drug, and the empty vistas of this under-viewed pocket of America. The tone of the film conveys what I believe with fanatical conviction, that the most sacrosanct and unique part of this country is the Road. It brings neither total comfort nor absolute despair, but it can help us to find ourselves.

On the brink of being unwatchable. The depiction of a self chosen lifestyle in poverty with the connection to shitty paid jobs and economic inequality which than leads to solidarity instead of shame, debts and alcoholism is almost obscene. It's an insta show with some tumblr talk where everything just floats into a pile of mud. The trees, the ocean, the desert. Nothing wrong with wanting to give dignity to the outsiders of the world, but you have to dig deeper than that.

McDormand is fine but boy does this thing drag. There's a severe lack of incident, and little explanation as to why Fern lives the way she does, and the film seems confused about what it's trying to say. It does everything to make her life seem unreasonably tough, then bizarrely tries to sell us on the whole nomad lifestyle thing, then pulls other, more appealing options for Fern out of a hat, then doesn't explain why she rejects those options. An ultimately frustrating and tedious experience.

One of those movies where they desperately try to get you to ignore the material conditions that create the themes of the movie. Where we can just shrug off our realities and take to the open road. The true alternatives to the capitalist society we suffer under isn't to separate ourselves from others it's to come together and take back what's ours. Still tho Zhao paints people with such a nuanced brush. But after the rider this just let me down so much

An ignored group of people struggle financially, spiritually, and with their own stories of grief as they travel across the country in hopes to enjoy the twilight of their lives. McDormand gives a quiet and stoic performance of a woman with an understandable amount of pride but struggling to keep afloat in a sea of grief. The score and the photography are equally beautiful in ability to capture desolate America.

It hauntingly captured the stark realism of loneliness when living apart from loved ones, that despite the beauty & noise & expanse around you, they all mean nothing at all. The film isn't about emptiness, because the characters' lives were full of happy memories. It's about loneliness, which leads to meaningless existence especially when it strikes at the sunset of life, which, sadly, often does.

I'll never argue that Frances McDormand isn't a primary reason to see a movie; she's tremendous and that holds true here. I found myself almost equally captivated by the surrounding personalities: Linda, Bob, Swankie and others really helped to flesh this out - much appreciated, considering I can sometimes struggle to "get into" movies like this. There's so much super-interesting commentary here on capitalism and nomad culture that can be taken in a bunch of directions. Watch multiple times.

Meh. Who does Zhao think she is, a neo-realist Ken Loach mixed with some Kelly Reichardt? She's trying too hard, and appears not to have the talent that I thought was hinted at in her debut film ('Songs My Brothers Taught Me'), which is unfortunate. Such a digitally flat looking film (it looks like an advertisement most of the time), but perhaps that's the fault of the cinematographer (Joshua James Richards) and not Zhao.

I think it ends up doing a mediocre job of depicting this lifestyle in general. I gives bits and pieces of other people. Some are quite wonderful depictions (Charlene Swankie stands out), others are mere sketches. Some people live like this out of necessity. Some people choose it as a lifestyle. I think the film leans so heavily on glorifying the latter and the sense of freedom that it offers that it gives not enough space to the people who simply have no choice.

A very beautiful, slow movie, that I think kind of requires you to understand the fleeting time we have as humans and the memories that stick with us.

It's always tough to rate a movie as "average" when it has such sweeping vistas and beautiful music and true-to-life scenes. I do like a little more plot in my movies, and the character of Fern doesn't give us much to make me want to take her side in her rejection of ... whatever it is she's rejecting. The film always feels like it's almost about to dig deeper, and then it just keeps skimming along the road.

A very honest, non overtly melodramatic look into the life of forcefully or by choice nomads of the U.S.A. The non-judgmental, documentary-style actually makes the point of the film more poignant. It was good to see the guts of the Amazon machinery and overall the whole economic system based on the "floating" workforce. There is something deeply wrong with what I have seen here, it is sometimes good to put faces on the problems you only know theoretically.

Det tar en stund att anpassa sig till det mer än långsamma tempot, men när jag väl fått ro i kroppen så kan jag luta mig tillbaka och ta in denna existensiella roadmovie. Inledningsvis undrade jag också varför regissören inte gjort en riktig dokumentär istället, men filmen växer så småningom in i den hybridform man valt. Som roadmovie lunkar filmen på utan tydlig dramaturgi med tidvis magnifikt foto och liksom en passant ställer den frågor av livsstilskaraktär. Filmen ger inga

The open spaces of the western US, the absences in the landscape, are a perfect backdrop for this tale. The film is strongest in its visual sensibility and when those real-life nomads are telling their stories. I also think Zhao makes good use of the tension between Fern the victim and Fern the iconoclast. There's a stubborn pride in her that wants to work and care for herself that's reflective of the American spirit, a spirit which comes with its own costs.

As someone who considers having a job and stability in employment as fundamental, I could definitely relate to Fern's brave and lonely struggle as she bounces around from one job to another while hanging on to the remnants of her past life. However, I would reacted more empathetically as a viewer had the reason for her journey been granted even a semblance of screen time rather than a plain opening title card.

This odd, sad little film is a true original, and perhaps the ultimate slice of life experience. It's a tough watch, and little gets resolved, but I can recommend it.

It's a beautiful and sad picture of who in America is forget or ignored by the society. But the point is that is literally a picture: the plot is non existence and in some spots the movie forgets that it should tell a story and freezes for minutes in (wonderfully directed) moments of everyday life. The music is too flat and redundant considered the atmosphere of the situation

Watched this before I even knew it was nominated for anything, let alone before it actually won. Cinematography is beautiful and the directing is strong. Frances McDormand absolutely kills these types of roles. And yet, with all the accolades, I felt it was missing something to truly take it over the top into a certified Classic. I don't know if the simplicity of the film is throwing me for a loop or if I am second guessing my rating after this won the awards, but. All said: pretty good film.

Any film with Frances McDormand and David Strathairn is an obvious much watch. However, that's really all this movie has going for it. The amateur actors were terrible and the film seems to drag on forever.

Nomadland is something special -- truly transcendent. Normally with a meandering film like this it's not difficult to scrounge up criticisms of focus or direction, but this gripped me from its stark landscape to McDormand's stoic, secretly turbulent performance. I never once asked where we were going -- much like Fern never asks herself where she's headed -- and yet I felt immense reward for following through. Happy this won its share of accolades.

McDormand shines spectacularly under the light of wild America. Breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable stories by real life nomads. The grandeur of the sights sometimes finds itself overshadowed by the bleakness of capitalist America. Overall brillant portrait of weathered individuals who found their place on the road.

How frustrating it is to see Frances settle for the exact same roles again and again. Even more so we know how talented she really is. Nomadland isn't deserving of an Oscar for best picture. Maybe it is for its beautiful Americana cinematography. But as always it's not enough for me to truly enjoy a movie. Chloé left me hungry for more... One thing she did really well though is imbuing the movie with that sad atmosphere of the nomadic way of life. Realizing that we live and die alone.

There's a fundamental disagreement between drifting as a personal choice to make peace and drifting involuntarily because capitalism has left you with nowhere to go. Trying to have it both ways leaves an unfulfilled sense of anger at the fact that being unhoused is considered Americana.

This is the perfect example of a "nothing happens film". You could take all the scenes and scramble them and watch them in a totally random order and nothing would change. As Hitchcock said: "What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out." Every scene is dull. Towards the end as every scene would come to a close I would hope for the credits. "Hello. My name is Fern and I shit in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!"

Not quite the Wim Wenders-esque meditation on America as the land of the those who accept its brutal corporate system and the few that choose to drift -- film can't achieve proper balance between 'visual poetry' and documentary rawness, mostly because it is an ok melodrama about grief and its 'illuminated' moments are mostly 'nomad coach' exposition -- but rather the highbrow Hollywood version of exactly that -- mellow score, sad songs, 'perfect shots'. Now I want a Benning-directed Nomadland.
